One of my passions in the scrap booking world is making tear bears. I can do just about anything or type of bear when I set my mind to it. I'm guest designing this month for Paper Piecing by Nikki (PPbN). Nikki has the best files to make tear bears from.

Little white mulberry gloves. Added some specialty ribbon and lace. Don't you just love her little petticoat? The umbrella is even rocking it out. Oh how fun she would look on your scrap booking page of your perfect little girl or maybe even a hand made card to brighten someones day.

Hello and thanks for stopping by my den today. The Pride has been pouncing around and creating some awesome 4th of July inspirations for you.

For the month of July our challenge to play around with was Stars and Stripes!

I'm very patriotic. I love the 4th of July and believe in what our Country was founded on....Faith in God.

As I was pouncing around ideas in my head I came across a cutting file from PPbN called Independence Day. It was perfect for my Stars and Stripes theme.

Add a little Trendy Twine of Blueberry and Berry Red what a combo I came up with.

All of the paper piecing is hand colored with my promarkers. I just love to color and it is a great stress reliever.

I added some cute little star buttons to the ribbons and there is even a heart button in the center of the star on the hat.

The one little bear is holding a pom-pom made of Trendy Twine. I threw in some Prima flowers with card stock sticker centers and I have a set that is worthy of gracing my scrap book page. Can't wait to use it!

Today is my very first post as a DT member of Trendy Twine! So excited to be able to share what I've been working on for the month of July Challenge over at Trendy Twine (just click here to be taken there).

Don't you just love his whiskers? I twirled the twine around my pointy tool, used a little glue to hold it in place and then I used my drier to dry them, took them off my pointy tool and had some cute little curly whiskers for my cat!
